Visit Ballarat

Filed underPlaces to Stay
A home away from home. A place where one is happy, relaxed and comfortable.
It’s what we all desire while we’re on holiday! So, to help you plan your next winter escape, we’ve pulled together a list of some of Ballarat’s cosiest stays.
The Californian Ballarat
This fully-renovated 1920’s Californian bungalow might retain its period charm on the outside, but step inside and it all about the luxury conveniences.
A wood fire makes for a cosy getaway anytime of the year, and with a pet-friendly policy, it’s the type of home you’ll want to bring the whole family.
Battista
Looking for somewhere to cocoon this winter? Then stop your searching and take a look at the dreamy Battista. This restored church has some serious soul, and features all the luxuries you’d want on a weekend escape in winter. With a spacious king-sized bed, freestanding bath and a kitchen stocked with all sorts of goodies, you’ll want to extend your stay.
Lascelles Terraces
Is there anything nicer than getting into a hot bath after a long day of exploring? If you’re someone who agrees, then you’re going to love the free-standing bath in The Mainstay.
This residence is a perfect mix of bold design and historic charm – so whether you’re looking for shared accommodation to impressive your friends on a weekend away, or it’s a romantic escape that you have in-mind, put this at the top of your list.
Lyon House
For an extravagant weekend away look no further than Lyon House. Take a dip in the indoor heated swimming pool; run yourself a warming monsoon shower; find yourself in the library nook with a good book in-hand and vino in the other; settle in for the best night’s sleep in one of the three luxurious bedrooms; then wake to the smell of freshly-brewed coffee as you prepare to live it all again.
Woodhouse Ballarat
Couples looking for an entire cottage to themselves will find comfort in booking a weekend stay at this stylish cottage in the quiet neighbourhood of Soldiers Hill.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities.
These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.
We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years.
As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
